Relic of the Future: Chapter 66

"FIND HIM!" he heard her scream. "FIND HIM! Ignore the tents, they can be repaired. Find Ashari!"

Ducking low behind a pile of crates, he watched as Sienna stood at the head of a good hundred faunus, many of which were fanning out angrily. He licked his lips and put the flashbang away, pulling out a high-explosive instead. Nora had always been the grenades user for Team JNPR, and she'd showed him plenty of different ways to use them, not all obvious.

He rolled his across the floor toward another set of tents, giving it enough force so that it rolled under the tent flap and inside.

The whole thing erupted a few seconds later.

Jaune moved in the opposite direction. People looked to explosions. It was just a rule. If a sudden blast went off, you turned toward it and no amount of training was going to beat that instinctive reaction. He took the second where he knew they'd be distracted to skirt around the crates and run to the west, circling around the back of Sienna and her force.

"Fan out," she barked. "Keep quiet – and no battle cries. The second you see him, start screaming and we all converge. Do not let that bastard escape."

He'd chosen his spot behind her with good reason. The moment she finished, the faunus spread out, but they did so in a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree cone in front of them. Or thereabouts. They didn't think to look or go backwards because that was where they'd come from. They fanned out ahead, searching through the tents past the newly exploded one. Jaune caught his breath behind, watching and waiting to see if Sienna would make a move for Winter.
